If you are alleging that you were fired because of a medical condition or disability, in violation of the ADA, you have 180 days (basically a year and a half) from the wrongful discharge to file your discrimination claim. If you claim you were fired in violation of an oral (unwritten) agreement or contract, you have 5 years; and if you claim you were fired in violation of a written employment contract, 10 years.
